High-Frequency Trading Firms to Adapt or Die to Cope with Complex Regulatory Environment in China

July 29, 2011 - PRLog -- As reported by The Trade News, Laurent Cunin, Hong Kong-based head of Asia-Pacific at multi-asset brokerage Newedge, says that success for speed traders in China will depend on the ability of trading firms to adjust their strategies to cope with the complex regulatory environments. Therefore, Chinese speed traders, ready to take advantage of trends started in most advanced markets, will find enlightening High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop DVD Video Package, "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies", now available online at http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com.

In China, a toughened regulatory stance on speculation on the futures exchanges since late last year has only added to the existing complexities of implementing market access, trading software and network connectivity under a tightly-controlled regime. The Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, Shanghai Futures Exchange and Dalian Commodity Exchange separately issued rules in November to curb “abnormal” trading as commodity prices hit record highs. The exchanges will alert the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) if investors are found trading between their own accounts or frequently placing and cancelling orders. Investors are also disallowed from using related accounts to hold positions in a way that exceeds their individual limits.

Mr. Cunin concludes: "Each Asian market comes with its own set of rules and regulation. When a client in the US says, ‘We want to trade the Asian market. You tell us where to start,’ we can differentiate ourselves because of our Asia-Pacific coverage. In the mature markets of Japan and Singapore, it will be challenging for Newedge to grow even bigger as we already have 25-30% market share, based on volume traded on the futures exchanges. In 2011, we will keep growing our business in the mature markets, but we will also be putting a lot of resources into expanding our presence in markets like China and India, which continue to offer strong growth potential".
